Cleatham Hall

Nestled in a secluded and luxurious corner of Lincolnshire lies Cleatham Hall, a place I had never heard of before my stay but will now never forget. Arriving late in the evening, I was warmly welcomed by Jim, whose gracious hospitality immediately made me feel at ease. He kindly offered food and drinks, though I had already catered for myself, before escorting me to my charming room, separate from the main building. The converted barn, with its exposed beams and compact yet comfortable design, exuded a calming charm that set the tone for a restful night. After one of the best night’s sleeps I’ve had in recent memory, I awoke to the distant sound of pheasants and the realization of the stunning surroundings visible from my window—a serene view that must be even more breath taking in the summer months. I’d scheduled breakfast for 9 a.m., but arriving early, I was greeted by a polite and attentive staff member who led me to the elegant dining area. In the light of day, Cleatham Hall revealed its true beauty—a perfect blend of historic grandeur and modern elegance. The full breakfast was exquisite, made even more enjoyable by the soothing sounds of Etta James in the background. Additionally, I’d faced an unexpected issue on arrival due to an issue with my organisation’s booking system, however Jim handled the situation with professionalism and efficiency, contributing to resolving the payment problem seamlessly the following morning. Also, a special thanks to Kate for her warm and attentive hospitality the following morning as we discussed various theories of life. The combination of a fantastic location, outstanding service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere made my experience truly memorable. Yet again Thank you, Jim and Kate, for such a wonderful stay

We booked in for Sunday lunch on Sunday the 24th of November. The food was lovely and the team are very friendly and attentive. The owner also took the time to say hello and to point out what's on at the hall over the coming weeks. What a lovely lady who genuinely cares about the place. We will definitely go again.

What beautiful venue for our daughter’s wedding day, the hosts were lovely very welcoming… on the wedding day everything to the final detail was perfect, the food was outstanding, as was breakfast the following day. Our bedroom had the most comfortable bed and the best bath .

After a warm welcome we were treated to a wonderful afternoon tea. It was delicious. Everything was so fresh and tasty. My companions also enjoyed the experience. Cleatham Hall is set in beautiful surroundings, a great location with lovely views across the countryside.

What a wonderful first visit! We booked lunch to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived, it was like being welcomed into a family home. We were shown to a lovely sitting room where we enjoyed drinks, with the kind offer of nibbles. The inside of the hall is traditional and tastefully decorated. We were shown to our table, which had a personal birthday card, which we thought was very thoughtful. The orders were taken by a very attentive and smiley young lady, who was pleased to chat and make us feel welcome. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked and well presented. We had enjoyed a lovely meal, however, I had a problem on returning to my car. When the owners of the hall became aware, they offered me a coffee and used their car to jump start mine. I could really not fault their care and kindness. What a lovely venue and wonderful people. Thank you so very much for everything.

I've visited CH twice now, the first time with a small group for an afternoon tea, the second time for a pre Christmas meal On both occasions I've left feeling shirt changed. Reference the first visit for afternoon tea, the orangery (which is quite nice) was completely void of other dinners, thus had no atmosphere at all. I'd recommend that afternoon tea is done in set days in order to fill the space & build atmosphere The second visit, for a pre Christmas meal, again other diners in the room were few. The most disappointing part was that the beef was as tough as old boots. We were not checked back on during the meal & as such I raised this issue once we'd finished, with meat left on our plates. The owners are incapable of receiving criticism & this shows in other review responses. When stating that the meat was overcooked, this was net with "well it's the same piece of meat we've served from all day & there haven't been other complaints " having worked in hospitality for many years, this response does nothing to rectify the situation. I should add that the open fire was not correctly being tended and as such kept in going out. The verdict.- it is local to where I live, it is a nice old building which has greater potential than is currently being met. The entrance feels like you're walking into an old family members house. Having been there twice, I will not return for a third. I'm accepting that mistakes can happen, but it's how you deal with them that counts & both the chap & chappette (whom I believe are the owners) were poor in rectifying the issue.
